Let's Sing 2025 ships with a few dozen songs. Your kids want the one from the
film. Your friends want the one from 2003. Neither is on the disc, and the DLC
that has it costs more than the game.
So: put your own songs in. Any song you own, with lyrics, scoring and duets
working exactly as they do for the official ones.
216 songs on my console right now. The game is not patched or modified,
its microphone handling, its scoring, its whole interface stay untouched. Only
the song library changes.
How it works
Karaoke fans have been writing song charts for UltraStar for twenty
years, the notes, the timing, the lyrics, all free, tens of thousands of songs
at usdb.animux.de. What has never existed is a way to get them onto a PS4.
That's what this does. You give it an UltraStar chart plus your own audio file,
and it hands back a package the console installs like any other DLC.
Point it at a folder of songs, come back later. 191 in one run here, no failures.
What you need
Let's Sing 2025 on a jailbroken PS4, GoldHEN running
A Mac, a Linux box or Windows, all three work
Python and ffmpeg. Nothing else to install
Your own music files
Everything is reversible. You keep a copy of the original DLC, and reinstalling
it puts the console back exactly as it was. The base game is never touched.
Being straight with you
The charts come from strangers on the internet and vary in quality.
Some are beautifully timed, some are rough.
A chart only contains what its author wrote. Several Disney songs only
transcribe one character's part, so the duet lines simply are not there.
Background videos are optional and slow, about six minutes a song to
encode. Without one, the song plays on a black background and everything else
works. Most people will not bother.
This is not a way to get the paid DLC. It converts charts. You supply
the music, from your own collection.
The attachment
Source, plus documentation of every file format involved, the charts turned out
to be plain XML and the song catalog plain JSON, so there was nothing to break
into. Read it before you start; the packaging steps matter and there are three
traps that produce silently wrong output rather than an error.
No game files, no music, no packages, and please do not ask for any.
Bring your own.
